The biographical sketch of the Marquess de Chaves which appeared in a Morning Paper of yesterday, repre senting him as the head of the first fainily a in Portugal, an ally of the Jews, a late contractor for warlike stores, in possession of unbounded wealth, - Rie; is incorrect. He certainly is the head of the Silveira family, and this is a numerous one in Tras-os-Montes; but this is neither an old nor a rich family. The wealth he now possesses was supplied to him before be quitted Spain, and certainly had no israelitish origin. His unclehis present associate and adviser—whose family name is Antonio da Silveira Pinto da Fonseca, and known as the Viscount Canelas, is much richer than the nephew, yet neither has had con tracts for supplies The uncle is by far the cleverest man ; for, in the young Marquees, there are many traits of madness, and we could mention a characteristic anecdote of him, which occurred on the day of_ his marriage with one of the meravers of the Marquess de.Marialva's family, which proves the fact. He is bold and aspiring, and often rash and hair-brained. The uncle's presence, however, operates as a check on him. It is the projects of the uncle which the nephew is now executing. The uncle joined the Oporto Revolution in August, 1820, and to flatter and interest him in its object, he was made Presi dent ; but he was never trusted. As soon, however, as he reached Lisbon, and saw how things - were going, he turned tail, and gave the first example of revolt to the troops, on the memorable 11th November, 1820. The:people,• it will be remembered, then rose en masse; the rebel troops with him at their head vrereoverpowered, awl he was exiled to his country sent of Canelas, whence his title is derived. The object of this Silveira, and of the whole family, was to govern Portugal themselves, and this ambition is, in fact, the motive of their present un dertaking. The uncle, however, never was at Rome, as the. Sketch in question asserts. He and a party of Portu guese Royalists, in the interests of the'Queen Dowager of Portugal, were in Spain when the Duke d'An . gouleme entered, and to him they offered their services. These ke • declined, no doubt not to offend England at that time, and old Silveira was then desired to go and reside at Bayonne, where he has chiefly remained till his present return home, it is supposed, combining his plans for the crusade on which he has entered.

CHRISTMAS. • 7rat'44111101.11 AND ANCIENT IIEDEMONY Or 'Nia ROAM'S. ;, tniatiptu. ° • , ' At a time when fresh meats were seldom eaten, brawn was considered as a great delicacy. It is well known that the boar's head soused was anciently the first dish on Christmas day, and was carried up to the principal table in the ball with great state and solem. nity. Hollingshed rays that "in the . year 1170, upon the day of the young Prince's coronation, Kin g 1-lenly I. served his sonne at. table as. sewer, bringing up the boar's head, with trumpets before it,. according to the manner." For this indispensable ceremony, as also for others of that season, there was a carol, which Wynkin de Worde has given us as it was sung in his time, with the title " A carol bringing the boar's head:" Caput apri defero Reddens laudes Domino. The boar's head in hand bring 1, With garlands gay and rosemarye I pray you all sing merrily. Qui esti° in eonvivio. The boar's bead I understande Is the chefs aervyce in this bunk ; Looke wherever it be fonds. Servite cum maim Be gladde, lordes both more and lease, For this bath ordaynetl our stewarde, To chore you all at this Christi - name, The boar's head with mustarde. This carol, says Mr. Warton, is retained at Queen's College, Oxford, though with many innovations. There is, indeed, in the College, an old legend that a wild boar, which infested the neighbourhood of Oxford,, was killed by a Taberder of this College on Christmas day, as he was going to serve at church, and that he killed it by thrusting his Aristotle down the throat of the animal, protecting his arm in the rencontre with some part of his gown. This story, it is probableonay have contributed to the continuance of the ceremony of the boar's head at Queen's College longer than any where else, but the song has no allusion to it. That simply states that the boar's head is the " rarest dish in all the londe, and that it has been provided in honour of the king of bliss." There is, however, a song on this supposed feat of the Taberder, written by Dr. Harington, of Bath, and printed in the Oxford Sausage, full of wit and tumour, of which the &lowing is a correct copy, as printed:— A SONG, IN IiONOUR OF CUMULATION OF THE BOAR'S IfIATIp AT QUZEN'S COLLEOX, OXFORD.

Archdeacon Nares has pointed out a curious narra tion of Christmas revels in England, to be found in " Miscellanea Antigua Anglicans," published from an original manuscript in St. John's College, Oxford ; and yet another is given in Gerard Leigh's « Acci deuce of Armory," p. 119. The dishes most in vogue were, formerly, for breakfast and supper, on Christmas Eve, a boar's head, stuck with rosemary, with an apple or an orange in the mouth, plum porridge, and minced pies. Eating the hitter was a test of orthodoxy, as the Puritans conceived if to be an abomination ; they were `originally, made long, in imitation of the cratch, or manger, in which our Lord was laid,— Times. SHOCKING MURDER.—TIVO ferilllloS, who lived in a village near Loglima, in the county of Galway, having a small fortune, received the addresses of two men, who were consi dered by their friends as below them in rank. They made en appoiotnie4 with their lovers to bring them all the money they. could collect, on a certain night, and meet them at an appointed place, for the purpose of eloping. One of the females came, some time before the other, and also before the melt; she concealed hermit until the other should arrive. Ina short time the man came, and then the other female. The pre 'tended lovers seised her immediately, took from her all the money she had, and threw her into a burning lime kiln. The female, who had been a concealed spectator, fled as qui c kl y and as secretly an she could--overtook a carman, who concealed her under hay on his car, , until he came to the neare s t p o lice station, where they, informed the police of the transaction.-- They instantly went to the spot, where they found the nowdercro, and got the money in their possession ; having secured they examined the limekiln, where they found the wafting of the unfortunate victim of credulity burned to a cinder, her two Joikeis alone excepted. These she had held the side of the )0 4 with ' above the flames; so that they were not c onsume d. , The , police brought with them the murderers, and they are "now, :lodged in our county gaol.— Galway Independent,- FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

The Noble Pert stated that he had heard that the Marquis de Chaves had caused him• self to be proclaimed King, by the name of Don Manuel 11.
